Mathusalen from Lubbock, TX

the safety on campus is great. students do feel safe as they attend classes, and have places to go for help, if needed.

Clubs and Activities

intramurals, gay and straight alliance, and so many other varieties of clubs.

Great for these types of students

students that are older and coming back to school. students that have just graduated and are worried about the large college experience. actually all students.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

there is a center in lubbock, the byron martin atc building, which students from lubbock can take some of their classes. this accessibility is critical for students from lubbock. there is also the reese campus which is right outside of lubbock, that is nicely located between lubbock and the main campus in levelland. these locations make it so very easy for students to plan their schedule according to jobs and home, especially if your from lubbock.

Bang for the buck

i feel like coming to south plains college was a major point in my life, because the preparation i am receiving for the future will be very beneficial.

What to do for fun

many clubs and activities for different kinds of students exist for the student. from intramurals to lifestyle clubs that help the student maintain social status'.

Food and Dining

great food with alot of variety.

Dorm Life

the dorms are a very integral part of campus life on the levelland campus, but not on reese campus, a commuter campus.

Academic Rigor

the lessons and material are exactly what students need to earn a degree or transfer to texas tech for more focused study.

Tips for prospective students

taking these classess seriously help the student get more focused attention and make it easier to ask questions. the long haul is what makes south plains college a great school. the school stands alone as one of the regions greatest schools, and joins other schools in the area as a community focused institution.

In three sentences

south plains college is an excellent institution with great instructors who truly care about the studen'ts education. the college has expanded and serves a large based population from many cities and towns. the academics are on level with her sister college, texas tech, so that students may transfer easily.

Devin from Lubbock, TX

I have never had any problems on campus and have never heard of any incidents during the three years I have attended the college.

Greek Life

None

Clubs and Activities

I do not participate in any clubs or activities.

Great for these types of students

Those trying to get their feet wet or are too busy to go to a traditional university. South Plains College offers a very diverse crowd.

Bang for the buck

Ultra cheap tuition and good instructors make South Plains College a great value.

What to do for fun

As Levelland is a small town all entertainment is in Lubbock, Texas which is about thirty minutes away. The city of Lubbock has plenty of bars and is home to Texas Tech University so you still get the college crowd.

Food and Dining

I do not eat on campus.

Dorm Life

I have never lived on the dorms however the college is located in a very small town so from what I hear from others is that dorm life is boring.

Academic Rigor

More work at more rigorous standards are dolled out in most classes. A passing grade is truly earned in classes at South Plains College

Tips for prospective students

Because it is not a research university the instructors are focused on teaching. Because of this classes are much harder and it is impossible to win just by showing up. Instead hard work and study are what it takes to pass classes.

In three sentences

South Plains College provides a unique opportunity to learn in a small community setting. Because it is not a research university, the teachers are focused on students and classes are much harder. The largest classes are around thirty people so there is abundant time for one on one time with the instructor.

SPC is a great school and everyone there is extremely nice and helpful. I had never attended college before SPC and knew very little about the process but the folks at SPC made it so simple to apply and get in. I'd recommend SPC to anyone.

Great if you go to the levelland campus, but no cafeteria at the Reece campus in lubbock.

Dorm Life

I have no idea, never had the opportunity to live on campus, but hear its great experience.

Academic Rigor

Better than going to a university.

Its always better to start at a community college vs. a university. In order for you to explore your options, but whatever you do make decisions before its too late.

Bang for the buck

The school is very inexpensive when compared to schools in this area. It costs a fraction of what it would to attend Texas Tech University for the first two years and the education is just as great. The teachers prepare you for the university that you will be going to next and they do not slack when it comes to education.

What to do for fun

There are many things to do for fun on campus. The school has workout programs, a recreational building, a technology center, group meetings, a gym, and much more. If you are looking for something to do, it will not be hard to find it at South Plains College.

Food and Dining

The food ranges from hot to cold, freshly made to packaged. The food is always prepared really well and the cost is easy on the bank. The amount and quality of the food is exceptional.

Dorm Life

I have not lived on the dorm, therefore I am unable to speak about dorm life.

Academic Rigor

The academic aspect of South Plains College is favorable for the teachers and the students. The teachers set their expectations high and the students, most often, meet the expectations. The classes are challenging but that is because they are preparing you for the university that you may attend after completion at South Plains College.

Tips for prospective students

Come into South Plains College with an open mind and be ready to set your goals high. The teachers set very high expectations for their students and it is easier to meet these expectations if you give your all. Always come prepared to class, the teachers do not accept late work or excuses.

In three sentences

South Plains College is a great starting school that allows you to obtain the basics without breaking the bank. The classes are more interactive and with a smaller student body, it is easier to get involved. The teachers at this school are very well rounded and they are open to discussing things taking place in the classrooms.

Students into sports like Track&Field and Basketball especially! Basketball team was undefeated this year. If you are used to small environment classes, this is always great!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The school has a ranch, I believe that's what it is, for the students enrolled into Rodeo classes and others.

Bang for the buck

The school is pretty cheap, in a good way! Financial Aid is always good. You get a lot for what you pay for!

What to do for fun

The Student Activities Center is a great place to hang between classes! It consists of many pool tables, ping pong tables and other games. Recently installed video games, so you can play the Wii or XBox. It has nice outdoor areas for people who want to run around and play Football or Ultimate Frisbee, and also have tennis courts. The school also has Intramural Sports like flag football, basketball, and others. Also if you are interested in Theatre, but not a Theatre major, you can still audition for the many plays. The Commercial Music program also holds fests at the end of each semester that everyone can attend for free live music.

Food and Dining

There are many fast food places and restaurants near campus. Snack bar inside campus consists of many great foods. Cafeteria available for people who live on campus, and costs for people who live off campus. The food can be so-so.

Dorm Life

Is pretty great! Women's dorms are a little better than the men's. New dorm is now available, co-ed, and it looks amazing! Dorm Apartments are also available. It is better to live on campus than off due to weather and the cost of gas.

Academic Rigor

Depends on what classes you have and who you have. It is important to attend classes, because you can miss a lot.

Tips for prospective students

Attend all classes as much as possible. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Take notes. Get to classes early. Study. Do your work once you get it.

Campus Safety

This campus is not extremely big, but it's in a bad part of town in a town overrun by impoverished people. Be careful if you're taking night time classes. Almost all the teachers, students and staff leave at 4 pm and there are very few people on the campus after that. I hate to say it, but someone could very well be kidnapped, or worse, if not careful.

Clubs and Activities

I don't know of any at all unless you're gay/lesbian.

Great for these types of students

Get to know your professors, they will take finals easier on you if they like you.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Every year during the holidays the school lights up all the trees on campus, which I thought to be really nice.

Bang for the buck

It's the cheapest option around, but poorly funded.

What to do for fun

If you're living in Levelland, you better have friends, because there is absolutely nothing to do outside of school.

Tips for prospective students

Do not speed on your way to school, the Highway Patrol monitors that road very constantly, day and night.

In three sentences

This college is very cheap and affordable, but also lacking in programs, sports and supplies. I would only recommend you get your basics done here, then transfer somewhere else. The drive from the city to SPC is also miserable.

Audrianna from Lubbock, TX

Students who don't want to go into debt from getting an associates or transferring. Also good for students who are more laid back.

What to do for fun

Go to Lubbock.

Food and Dining

There are limited options on campus, but a lot of choices close to the school.

Dorm Life

I don't live on campus.

Academic Rigor

I've only taken two semesters so far, but I haven't been in a really difficult class yet. But most classes involve a lot of time and outside work.

Tips for prospective students

Many of the teachers are laid back.

In three sentences

I would not be able to afford a 4- year university, so SPC is a very affordable option. The class sizes are small, and I feel like a lot of the teachers actually care. I'm glad I can begin my education here.

Ciara from Meadow, TX

I hung out with some friends a few times but only to study or review each other for a test that day.

Food and Dining

I never ate there.

Dorm Life

I do not live on the campus.

Academic Rigor

I have just taken a general biology class and I passed it with a high C. I also took a government class and passed it with a C also.

Tips for prospective students

Study hard and sit in the front of your classes so you can distort distractions and better yourself in the long run. Just because this college is in the cheaper range does not mean it's any easier! So just pay attention well.

In three sentences

South Plains College is a great, affordable college to start your basics at. I am attending this college while I am in high school and I have currently passed two classes from there. So it's a great help and I am still taking classes there until I graduate high school.

Campus Safety

I personally have never had any kind of incident but a friend of mine has. She said that the campus police was quick to respond and very helpful to her. They are always riding around campus and ro walking around making sure all is good. I give them 2 thumbs up

Clubs and Activities

There are many differnet clubs and activities in South Plains College. I am in the Hispanic Committe and Baptist Life Group. My groups are very encouraging and they offer scholarships as well.

Bang for the buck

South Plains College is not expensive at all so you will definately get your bucks worth. They have a great transfer rate to Texas Tech University and the advisors here are great.

What to do for fun

The campus always holds some kind of event whether its a concert in the sundown room or co-ed sports like softball, basketball, ect.....South Plains have a great halloween dance its awsome. Lubbock in about 20 minutes away and they have everything you need there. I live in Lubbock and its a great place.

Food and Dining

The food here is average. Pizza, burgers, chicken baskets and salads are the usual. The have a big dinning area which is always good. The prices are a bit high for me but I guess thats the problem everywhere you go. All in all the food is good not the best thou. There is a few good fast food joints around campus which is always a plus.

Dorm Life

I DONT LIVE IN THE DORMS SORRY

Academic Rigor

Academic rigor is not bad at all. Some instructors are very easy while others are very tough. If you want to be an A student you definately need to study and or read all your stuff that will be assigned. All the instructors that I have had so far have been very helpful and most are intresting. It's good to try to get to know them and be their friends since it is a small college I think they like to know their students. A&P is very hard here but my instructor is very helpful. She gives all we need to succeed in her class. Almost all instructors are consistant and when they there will be a test and no makes ups then its almost always true. All in all if you are responsible and want to make something of yourself then you will be ok.

Tips for prospective students

If you are an incoming student i encourage you to go to every class, especially the sciences. Sometimes skipping out can really hurt you so try your hardest to be there. Listen and be observent to all class instructions. Check your email and blackboard everyday so you will not miss anything. Always be respectful and if you are an above average student I encourage you to help others and in the same way you will be helping yourself. Take advantage of study groups and lab time, that really helpes me.

In three sentences

South Plains College is a great place to start. It's cheap and many classes and professors will try hard to work around your schedule. Classes are not to big so you will definately get alot of one on one time if you need it.

Louis from South Orange, NJ

This school offers a more inexpensive option versus a 4 year university which could be extremely expensive especially if you are unsure college is for you.

Food and Dining

The main campus at Levelland offers various foods selection the other campuses are limited in their offering.

Dorm Life

There is a dorm at the Levelland campus, other than that I can not offer an opinion.

Academic Rigor

The course load and intensity depends upon your course load.

Tips for prospective students

Any student seeking to attend SPC or any college/university for that matter make an appointment with the advisers express your concerns as a prospective student. Obtain all your school records before applying and submitting them to your institution early otherwise any late coming paperwork could hinder your chances. If you are attending college for the first time, returning adult student, or a student undecided minimize your course load this way acclimating to the process could limit the stress load.

In three sentences

Antiquated and too much brown wood, but acceptable!

Academic Rigor

The teachers comport the subject material in the easiest ways to understand and learn.

Tips for prospective students

Getting into this college will be no daunting task, but as it is in Texas it still applies to Texas entrance rules. In other words, if you achieve or remain top of your class, automatic acceptance will be granted and easy scholarship money will be awarded.

In three sentences

Although South Plains College may not be the most pristine and innovative institution in the country, i have so far enjoyed my studies at this school. With small, flexible classes and truly caring and knowledgeable teachers, It gives the familiar feeling of a high school atmosphere with college level work; a perfect start to entering college on the way to transferring to a major university.

Like all colleges there are some great professor and other that donÃ¢Â?Â?t care, but for the most part the professor that I have had they do care about you passing your classes.

Tips for prospective students

If you are planning to live on the dorms you better do that like the semester before because they are gone fast. Join some organization from college. The students are all right, donÃ?Â¢Ã?Â?Ã?Â?t be shy. Go see the music people sing, they have a great music department. The Dance Team is a new organization so check it out.

Campus Safety

They are very strict about visitation hours, you have to be with your company at all times (if it's a guy), a police officer roams through the dorms at certain times, and they have wing advisers in case you get locked out of your room and cameras every where. There is no reason for you not to feel safe but if you don't then you can tell someone and they'll help figure things out.. Good luck:)

Clubs and Activities

The Star Center is for first time generation students and they can help you out a lot. They allow you to rent laptops if you can't afford one, recorders, and they can help you set up your classes and much more. I was in a Weight lifting, there's dance organizations and many more. Just jump in and get involved.

Great for these types of students

They provide tutoring for those of us who need help. If you do need tutoring it doesn't make you dumb, it makes you smart for trying to solve the problem!!We

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

i don't really celebrate things here at the college. I go home to my family so I wouldn't know.

Bang for the buck

I would recommend walking as much as you can it saves a lot of gas money and the buildings are all so close that you can just walk. Roman noodles go good with pretty much anything:) If your broke they have a food bank at the South Plains Rural Health clinic.

What to do for fun

I go to the Baker Center lobby and watch movies, play games and pool, or sometimes I go out with friends, and occasionally I just read and do homework. They also have a game room with pool, video games, ping pong etc. It all depends on what you consider fun!

Food and Dining

I give the food 4 whole stars because it love to eat!! They have so many options here that sometimes I don't know what to get and they have a variety of drinks that you can get. I love having a meal plan because I don't have to cook or buy food. My boyfriend doesn't have a meal plan and he struggles to get buy food because his schedule is so demanding that he doesn't have time to get a job so i would recommend getting a meal plan if you have the money.

Dorm Life

I don't really like living in the dorms but it's probably because i didn't bring my t.v. or games which was a bad idea it makes it so much better if you get a roommate that you like and cleans up after herself. We share bathrooms with another room and the chick next to us was filthy and I finally got tired of it, i asked her to please clean up her stuff but she got snotty and said no so I threw her junk away. She was so mad but she kept clean after that.

Academic Rigor

Everything that I've had to deal with was pretty easy but take care of business and do assignments as early as possible so if you do need help your not rushing at the last minute. Study and you'll do well. It's best if you study a couple days a head of time instead of the night before.

Tips for prospective students

Don't procrastinate because most teachers won't take late work and don't be late because you WILL get dropped from our class and that'd be a complete waste of money!! Meal plans are great to have but are optional. Get involved with the school, they can give you scholarships and the more money you get the better.

In three sentences

On a scale from 1-10, I would rate this school and 8 at least. The teachers here are so friendly and everyone is willing you help you out with anything you need. They have many organizations that can keep you occupied because usually everyone leaves on the weekend.

Jamie from Levelland, TX

Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything. There is on campus counseling. They are here to help you!

Food and Dining

The food is pretty good in the cafeteria and they always have a giant salad bar!

Dorm Life

Some of the dorms are older, but living in the dorms helps you meet a lot of cool people!

Academic Rigor

If you go to class and pay attention you should do great. If you plan on skipping a lot and not doing your work, you won't do well.

In three sentences

South Plains College is a great school to get your introductory/core classes out of the way. The class sizes are small and you get to know your professor's, which makes it a great place to learn and do well.

It's a very great school if you don't want to be just a check off. My teachers know me by first name bases and is very eager to help if you want and need it. I also enjoy that it is diversity, to help everyone no matter age, race, or disability.

Maria from Lubbock, TX

South Plains College is an excellent choice for those students that want to have an education opportunity at a low cost and a flexible class schedule.

What to do for fun

We play pool, ping-pong and we also have different music bands.

Tips for prospective students

-Choose carefully your final career. -Do research about the core classes you need to take. -If you plan to transfer credits, you may have to check first with the final University what credits they will take from South Plains College. -Enroll in those classes that will suit your career. -Make an appointment with an advisor before registration, and let (her or him) know what your career plan looks like.

Campus Safety

The small campus size makes it easier for people to be seen both day and night. Their is campus security posted in all buildings and patrols around the campus to make sure safety is kept. There are no activities that could be potentially dangerous on campus and all the professors are always on a close watch to make sure everyone is safe.

Greek Life

There is only one type of sorority/fraternity at south plains and its a student led and everyone that is a student is welcome.

Clubs and Activities

Clubs and activities include sixth man, a basketball tradition. Flag football and soccer in the spring. Swimming.

Great for these types of students

Anyone the enjoys not being crowded yet having the fun college experience without the high payments and loud noises. If you enjoy smaller class sizes such as if you were back in high school with the college curriculum then this school is right for you.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The sixth man, a basketball tradition is all the students getting together to cheer on the basketball team as if we were on the court playing the opponent.

Bang for the buck

Not only is the south plains curriculum advanced as a college should be but easy enough to comprehend. The average pay rate is 75% less than other major universities for the same classes.

What to do for fun

Fun out in leveland would be leaving the campus for dinner and a movie while their are no activities, but tuesday and thursday activities are held every evening for a relaxing get together to get you out of studying and make new friends.

Food and Dining

The food is admirable, but the dining is nice and roomy.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is exciting but quite.

Academic Rigor

All classes are hard, but easy enough to get the knowledge needed to succeed.

Tips for prospective students

The biggest tip i could give any prospective students would be, do not take this schooling lightly, because when you get to a larger college tasks will become noticeably harder.

In three sentences

Small classes for students who desire a smaller class setting to learn. Teachers are able to give better one on one attention to lacking students. Therefore, if your looking for a highly credible school with the education of a university but the academic provisions of a junior college then considering south plains is a must.

Adam from Littlefield, TX

There is this bell outside of the Texan Dome, I've heard it was put there by the founders and it is a big mistake to ring it?

Bang for the buck

The value of the education far exceeds the price. For what you pay, you get much more than you'd expect

What to do for fun

There are several clubs around campus, and there is a gym, indoor swimming pool, game room. There is plenty to do when looking for fun.

Food and Dining

The food here, is honestly what you should expect from college food. It is nothing like a home cooked meal, but the meal plan is cheap, and for the price, no one can really complain. There are good restaurants in town too.

Dorm Life

Dorm life is different here than at, say a larger University. The dorms aren't too bad in size and accommodations. The female dorms are noticeably more comfortable than the males, however.

Academic Rigor

The professors are very involved with their students. They want them to pass and take their success very seriously.

Tips for prospective students
